Procrastination

Most of us struggle with procrastination; we will postpone doing something until later. If one of your key excuses is that you cannot do it right now, then you need to review your current behavior. You may consider taking time to become more aware of the present situation and identify why you are procrastinating. Discover why you are postponing something. What you are afraid of? Seek out the deepest reason within that prevents you from doing it. Is there any reason that causes you fear? Most people are afraid of the unknown. They do not know what the outcome will be. Hence, they simply suspend it to the last possible moment.

We delay because of fear of failure, or we fear being turned down. Or, perhaps we have insufficient information to proceed further. This is especially true when we are moving to a new geographical location and lack knowledge of what will be surrounding us. We do not have enough time to deal with the situation, or we become overwhelmed by the situation. That may make things worse. Most of the time when people do not complete something, it’s because they are too afraid to see the results. That is why we leave the situation open without finishing it.

We ignore work that was supposed to be done yesterday and postpone it until we cannot procrastinate anymore. This begins to define our lives. Hence, if we need to do something we must achieve it in the now. You do not wait until tomorrow. The moment we think about it, tomorrow has already arrived. Thus, one must continually do things in the present. The best strategy is to take care of problems on a daily basis.
